Allyson, Nilly specifically mentioned your sign last night, and that she'd saved it, and was thrilled to be bringing it home. She was nearly as excited about the sign as she was about dinner with Tim. I did not see your sign, but I don't think it could have sucked.

Jon B made us all buttons with the Nilly tour logo (did Deena dream up that logo?--so great). I have mine on my fireplace mantle, right now. I'm not sure where I'll put it, in the long run. I couldn't put it away last night.

Sniff. I miss everybody already.

sniff. me too.

Yep.

sigh There is missing going on all over the place.

Had a great time last night at Tom and Nora's. Nilly is wonderful! Wish we'd had more time to chat. Cindy is real, or at least, the actress they hired to play her was convincing. (: Guess I have to drop the fictional person joke now. Was a nice surprise seeing Matt, too. SOmeone had mentioned he'd be there, but it had slipped my mind.

Much, much fun, although for some reason I was sneezing all night.

Cindy is real

But we still haven't seen Cindy and Frank at the same time....

I want another party.

The restaurant will be fun but it won't be as free as the party.

Want another party.

Sadly, I got Killer Fatigue about 10:15 or so, and tried to hide so that people wouldn't think they had to leave. That's the first time THAT'S ever happened.* I figured if I passed out, everyone would show themselves out. Someone would have to lock the doors behind them, but I figured, Nilly's on West Coast time still, she could do that... :)

People left at around 11. I was happy to have them in my house, even though I was losing my ability to communicate and socialize. Sad to see the party break up, even though I was pretty much half asleep.

(* ETA, what I mean by that is that I generally have no problem kicking people out when it's time for me to sleep)

I'm so glad Nilly met Tim. He was brokenhearted about being unable to take her to the Firefly set, and was hoping she wasn't too brokenhearted, too. Told him Nilly was just stoked to meet him, and never expected a set visit.

She gave Me and Tim and Kristen the gift of the housewarming prayer, as well, and I got a potted plant from Israel, too. Well, it's a wee pot with seeds, anyway, which means I got soil from Israel, which is what I really really wanted. Meant very much.

I was paranoid that you were allergic to me, victor. Each time I left the room last night, I swore the sneezing lessened. I am trying to remember if I was wearing perfume. I never wear anything strong, because it tends to give me a headache. I have some orange spray which doesn't tend to annoy my head. I could have been wearing that. Did it stop when you left (when I left?)? I had a headache for the second half of the evening and it's still a little throbby, this morning. I didn't drink much, so I am wondering if one of the munchies had msg. I am an idiot, and always forget to check.

You were a really gracious hostess, Nora, and made it all so comfortable. Plus you? Nillyrific in your cuteness. Thank you, again.

Hmmm. Yeah. Hey, I've got an idea. Get take-out from that place in Brookline instead of going to the restaurant, and have us all invade your house again, 'til you're at the point of exhaustion.

Oh, wow. That's great.
